SA plane crashes near F/town
29 March, 2006

GABORONE - The Ministry of Works Transport says an air crash involving a South African aircraft occurred on March 16 at Masekwa near Francistown.

A press statement from the ministry says a crew and six passengers escaped with minor injuries. They were rushed to Nyangagbwe Hospital and released the same day.

The aircraft was coming from Sua Town en-route to Lanseria Airport near Johannesburg when the crew reported some technical problem and made an attempt to force land on the road.

On executing the forced land, the pilot did not manage to do so and a post-impact fire ensured. A team of Air Safety Investigators from the Department of Civil Aviation arrived at the scene in the early hours the following day, says the press release.

Investigations on the plane crash are continuing. BOPA
